The backing is a chord accompaniment made by this site for each song, so there are no copyright issues. Playback sounds a major sixth lower than written, like a real alto sax.
About this song
The tune comes from the 18th-century French song "Ah! vous dirai-je, maman", also known from Mozart's variations. This arrangement is written in D major for alto sax so you can play it without the octave key.
Practice tips
Start at 60% speed and just watch the fingering pictures change before you play.
D uses all six fingers. If it does not sound, a lower key is usually not fully covered.
Hold the half notes at the end of bars 2 and 4 for the full two beats.
